Prior to his service, Ron was a graduate from Avonworth High School, where he played on the Antelopes football team. On the weekends, he also worked at the Avalon Eat N'Park. After his service, he was employed at Duquesne Light Company for years.

Ron was a kind hearted man who loved his God.
His cats brought him love and smiles as did music from the 60s and 70s. Through good and bad scores, he remained a fan of the STEELERS and the PIRATES. He had an eye for cars and always keep his shiny and waxed...

Ron possessed a quick wit and could find humor in anything. Special friends Joe, Dave, Don, and Dave made Ron's final days lighthearted and enjoyable.

Ron will be missed greatly along with his smile.
